About this listing
Known as "Mr. Guitar," Chet Atkins was one of the most influential musicians to ever pick up the guitar. On top of that, he was easily the most important guitarist associated with the Gretsch brand. His collaboration of Gretsch signature models began in the '50s, and—like Gibson and the Les Paul model—Chet Atkins models have been played by countless influential guitarists, not to mention the man himself. The Chet Atkins Nashville was the original signature model Gretsch for Chet. By the '70s, it featured a double cutaway body like the Country Gentleman. Fully hollow with regular f-holes, the '70s Nashville measures 16" across at the lower bout, and the sides are 1-1/2" deep. For pickups, its sports two Filter'Tron humbuckers. Going back to late-'58, the Filter'Tron is the premiere Gretsch humbucker. Clearer and brighter than other humbuckers, the Filter'tron is raw, powerful, and still hum-canceling, despite retaining dynamics more associated with single-coil designs.This Gretsch has minimal fret wear and pretty good physical condition for over 50 years old. Tried to get as many of the little surface scratches as i could in the photos. Plays well, all original that i can tell and comes with OHSC.
